Yup!

They work well. Good feel, good bite and they last better than most pads.

I like the ST-43s. That is the compound. If you call Porterfield and tell them your car model and year they will come up with a part #.

Hi Mark,

What pad did you buy for your car? I believe you still have stock calipers, right?

Do you also replace the fronts and rears? I don't bother with the rears anymore. I really did not see much different with an track pad in front and stock pad in the rear.

All of those Miatas have forced induction and anywhere from 2 - 3 times the hp of a normally aspirated Miata.

I can't believe more guys didn't try to jump at the $100 from CMS. The cam i kind of understand, since it's a big step for the new guys, and would kick you up a class.

But free labor from Ryne? That's a DEAL right there. I think some people thought there was a catch because it was such a good deal. Even the winner didn't seem to understand that all he had to say was 'yeah i'll take it' to win the prize..

Stopped by the shop the other day and my whole car was apart including tranny.. They do great CLEAN work. Can't wait to test it at the races tomorrow!

Your car and the word "CLEAN" don't belong in the same paragraph.

its embarrassing to see my car in their shop.. and wait until brad has the shiny GT3 parked next to us in the T1 pits..

i definitely need to get sanding.. my prep wont be great, but the paint should go on easy enough.. im debating going to a darker color.
